Broke Prison.

| JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Oct. 13 Last
night Just about IL O'Clock, Russell Brown,
who, from the atrocity of his crime and bis
| respectable connection, was perhaps one OF
the most noted prisoners confined In the
penitentiary of this state, made good his
escape by scaling the wall.
II was part of the duty assigned Brown
to look after and replace the carbons IN the
electric light about the yard. and last night
about 1870 he and another prisoner made
their usual round. When they had finished
their work In the stockade iyard his COM
panion started to return to the main yard,
Russell called to him to wait, saying that
he would be ia In a few minutes His
companion passed over a slight elevation
and then waited for him, but he waited In
vain, and growing uneasy. he reported the
matter to the captain of the night watch
A search was instituted Immediately and
the finding of Browns prison garb 10 the
yard adjoining the warden's residence was
the only result.
Russell Brown came to the prison March
81, 1888, under sentence from the st.
Louis criminal court for ten
years. Early In that year he
and companion, Pat McGlew, en-
tered the premises Of Mrs. General Doris,
Russells grand mother, for the purpose of
robbing her of whatever jewels and money
she might have about her, and 1t Is suppos-
ed that she detected them and they strangled
her to cover up their crime. Russell
Browns father, Joseph A Brown, is we'll

reka, st. Louis county, and he is q nephew
Of the wife of ex Minister Halderman, of
Leavenworth. Pat McGiew, Browns ac
complice, died in the prison January II,

an interview with Journal reporter thi.
evening, In speaking of the effects Of The
passage of the interstate commerce bills OF
the business interests of the Pacific slope
said: The people were, and are still
strongly in favor Of the interstate BILL OF
course railroads attempted to make 1t az
odious as possible by heavy increase in
freight and passenger charges. but the
laws of trade soon regulated that, for the
prices they put upon products Were simply
prohibitory and there was no shipping Of
any kind until the railroads come back TO a
fair price, and as natural result Of their
attempt to increase freights, we received
the benefit we expected-the fostering Of
home manufactures. One of the results of
the bill has been to force our merchants
into patronizlng the manufactures and our
nail works, pc factories, paper mills,
wool mills, gla>s works and other manu-
factories have been running On full time

ADDITION Al TELEGRAPH
Forced TO Sue the Church.

NEW YORK, Oct Is -Unite6 State
District Attorney Walker decided today
that the case of the Rev Z. Walple War
rem, recently called from England to the
rectorship Of the Church OF the Holy
Trinity, comes under the contract labJl
law, and that he will be forced to COM
mence suit against the ministry and war
dens of the church.
The history of this case Is IN brief as
follows: Some months ago Scotch far
mer named Cummings came to this couu-
try under contract and was refused rermts
sion to land, on the ground that 1t would
be a violation of the law against the immi-
grafton of persons under contract TO per
form labor or service In this country. MIR.
]. s Kennedy, president Of the St An
drews society of this city, endeavOred In
vain to get permission for Cummings to
land. and the farmer was sent back to
Scotland. When II became known that
Rev. Mr.. Warren was coming to this
country under contract to fill the
pastorate of Trinity church, Mr.. Kennedy
notified Collector Magone Of the fact and
demanded that he be not allowed to land
The protest was not needed and the preach
er landed. Then Mr. Kennedy appealed

that the matter had passed beyond hi.
jurisdiction which only went to the extent
of preventing landing, but that If the law
had been violated it was the duty of the
United States district attorney to begin an
action against Rev Mr. Warren's employ
ers and against the captain of the ship
which brought him here, to recover the
penalty of 800 for violation of
the laws Mr.. Kennedy theTeupon
appealed to the district attorney, who, this
afternoon made known his decision as
above. He says 1t is plain that the law
does not refer merely to manual labor only
for 1t expressly exemp,s professional actors,
artists, lecturers and singers and as the
Rev. Warren is neither Of these, he falls
plainly within the law. The district attor
ney intimates rather poor opinion of the
law, but declares 1t bis duty to enforce 1t.
Mr.. Kennedy says he has no feeling either
against Rev. Warren or Trinity church,
but that be proposes merely to make test
case In order to bring an obnoxious law
into disrepute, and he writes to the clerk of
Trinity parish saying that In case the
church IL mulct 81 600 damages, he Ken

Still at Large,

ST. PAUL. Oct. 10 Deputy wardens
and penitentiary guards have secured the
country today in vain looking for Frank
p. Landers, alias Wilbur James, the noted
confidence man, who escaped from Sill
water penitentiary last evening. The gen
eral opinion seems 10 be that he had help
from the outside, as he has many friends
and acquaintance in the northwest. The
history of Landers' career reads like TO-
nance; he Is handsome fellow, of engaging
manners and well educated. He was born
In Utica, and dozen years ago, in Chicago
was engaged In some daaing forgeries, for
which he was arrested in Sedalia, Mo and
on trial was given light sentence. Shortly
after ne served his sentence of four ears
and six months In the Hartford, Conn.
jail for forgery. He also served short
sentences at Baltimore and Port Jarvis.
After that he swindIed Philadelphia mer-
chants out of So 600 by means of bogus
checks, and soon after levied
upon the San Francisco people to the
amount of $l2 600. He Lext appeared IN
Chicago as Lieutenant Somerville OF the
navy, and cut great figure In his gold
branded uniform. He signalized his de
parture by giving an elegant banquet at
the Hotel Rtohelieu 10 q number OF promt-
pept people, and the next day borrowed
81 600 from the same people and disap
reared Then he went to lthica. n. Y,
Europe again and New Orleans,
where he assumed the character
of New York Herald correspondent
the head If Shreveport cotton firm and
secured 81 600 Coming TO st Paul, he
had considerable social SUCCESS under the
name of Wilbur T. James and finally con
fidenced jewellers here out of SO, eco worth
of goods. From here ne went to Europe
and his next exploit was to cheat
William Herrick's sons, of Louis
Vile, out of diamonds worth 81 800
After an another vacation In Europe he
attacked Omaha and went away from there
SIS, 900 richer. After that he went TO Bos
ton and bought two suits of clothes offer
ing a forged check In payment. For this
ha was apprehended, was brought to ST.
Paul and convicted for his misdeeds
here and found guilty May 10Th,
1885. bling sentenced 10 twenty four years
a. saltwater He was one Of the editors
Of the Prison Mirror, recently established
newspaper, and bad conducted himself
with so much seeming rtctitude that be
had been allowed many privileges, by the
use Of which be finally made his escape.
